Syria and Jordan announce joint security panel after airstrikes

Syria and Jordan have announced a joint security committee to examine recent Jordanian airstrikes and their consequences. The agreement, made public overnight on 27–28 October 2026, follows a call between Foreign Ministers Asaad al-Shaibani and Ayman Safadi.

Official statements from both countries say the committee will establish the facts and improve field and intelligence coordination while safeguarding Syrian sovereignty and protecting civilians.

Safadi expressed regret over civilian victims. He described the strikes as an operation against Islamic State intended to prevent threats to Jordan; that justification remains Amman’s account.

The announcements reviewed name neither the committee’s members nor a date for releasing its conclusions. Announcing the panel does not establish the findings of an investigation.
